Fall Vacation

Last weekend we didn't have school on Friday due to parent-teacher conferences the two previous evenings. Therefore, we decided to take advantage of the 3 day weekend and take a little trip out of town. Our destination . . . Colorado Springs!

Luckily we went when we did. The interstate was closed just a few days before and then it was closed again this weekend. It made us a little nervous about what the weather would be like, but it turned out to be beautiful - especially on Friday morning when we arrived. Our first stop was the Olympic training center.

A replica of the olympic flame cauldron.

The guys - with my dad acting silly.

Beautiful view of Pike's Peak.

More on the rest of our trip to come!
